Welcome

wxDev-C++ is an extension of Dev-C++ by Colin Laplace et. al. This program helps you to create dialogs and frames for wxWidgets visually using a form designer. With all the wonderful features of Dev-C++, wxDev-C++ is still being actively developed. The main aim of this project is to provide the wxWidgets community with a free, open-source, commercial-grade IDE/RAD tool for development with wxWidgets.

If you are new to wxWidgets, have a look at the tutorials page to get yourself familiar with the IDE. Please drop us an email if you wish to join the wxDev-C++ development team or if you wish to submit your own tutorial (see the tutorials reference).

User Testimonials

As the project coordinator for an open source project for the past ten
years, and as a long-time user of Borland C++ Builder, I was surprised
and happy to find wxDev-C++ - it's one really slick piece of work. Nice
job!
—Jon Berndt, Aerospace Engineer, Houston, TX

Thanks for the hard work you all put into wxDev-C++ because I come from a
Visual Basic background so I was used to the graphic window designer. Thanks
again and keep up the good work!
—Jessica, Student, North Carolina

Small 7.1 fix

If you prefer to use wxDevC++ IDE deactivating the wxdsgn RAD we'll recommend you to use this updated version, since we fixed a crash that occurred when switching the bottom tabs on the first run. Though, a weird behavior couldn't be addressed at this time (these tabs don't show their captions on the first run if the designer is not enabled), but after the second run it's OK.

We also fixed the wxWidgets projects paths if you enable the designer after using the IDE without it. So, nothing big, but recommended anyway.

As always, grab it at the downloads section.
